One of the items included in the restored 1953 Rolls Royce owned by Gene Epstein is a picnic basket that includes silverware, plates and a tea set.

The 1953 Rolls Royce owned by Gene Epstein was restored 10 years ago and has only 40,000 miles since it was originally built 60 years ago. "I've bought many cars of the years that were sexy looking, but after I got done restoring them I drove them and if they weren't comfortable I sold them," said Epstein. "Once a year we'll sell a car and the proceeds go to our family foundation." Epstein said the foundation supports causes such as homeless shelters, food banks, the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
